Packers, Bears joined by small groups of fans in linking arms during anthem

A loud ovation and chants of "USA, USA" rang out before the national anthem Thursday night at Lambeau Field, where players and staff from both the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears linked arms as country singer Tyler Farr sang "The Star-Spangled Banner." However, it appeared only small groups of fans joined in linking arms in the stands, as the Packers players had invited all fans to do. Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers downplayed the lukewarm participation after Green Bay's 35-14 win.
